Something's burnin', something's telling me
I got to get away
Something's burnin' oh so hot
I need it right away
Oh, my sister, let me go
You see my brothers, now I know
Something's burnin', something's telling me
I got to get away
Something's asking, something says
"Hey man, why you got to stay?"
'Cause I've been running all my life
I've been wandering, I've been wandering
Oh, something's burnin'
Oh, something's burnin'
Some get in, some get out
There's a lot of it about
Some get high, some get low
Some don't know where to go
But I've been learnin' all my life
I've been growing, I've been growing
Oh, something's burnin'
Oh, something's burnin'
Oh, something's burnin'
Oh, something's burnin'
